“The sensations weren’t bad. They were, at times, a bit sumptuous even. It was a new feeling. She’d thought the meditation would clear and calm her mind, which would help her focus on problem solving at work, but then, she reflected, on the couch, still in her work clothes, that she was a pretty even‑minded person to start with—conflict averse, flexible in terms of perspective, not shy about taking responsibility for her errors, open and sympathetic even with difficult people—so, maybe what meditation did to a mind like hers was to open it up a bit, to let in other feelings, to give her some kind of larger perspective on humanity that others didn’t have.”
― Halle Butler, The New Me
